Obama: US is looking to 'isolate' Russia

(NEWSER) – President Obama says the US is taking a series of economic and diplomatic steps that would "isolate" Russia, declaring today that Moscow "is on the wrong side of history" in Ukraine—not to mention in violation of international law. Vladimir Putin, he warned, as per the AP, faces "a costly proposition" if he continues military operations in Ukraine. Speaking in the Oval Office, the president said Congress' "first order of business" should be an aid package to Ukraine.
